Some of Adelman's earliest sound editing work was for the Sugar & Spice direct-to-video parodies of popular children's tales such as Snow White and Cinderella which were released in the early 1990s. During the 1992-93 TV season, she worked on the NBC series I'll Fly Away, along with fellow Star Trek sound engineers Wilson Dyer, Steffan Falesitch, T. Ashley Harvey, Miguel Rivera, and Guy Tsujimoto. She then worked as dialogue editor on the 1993 feature film Joshua Tree, along with Dyer, Falesitch, Harvey, and Rivera.

Adelman joined the crew of Next Generation near the end of the show's sixth season in 1993.

After the season's 11th episode, "Past Tense, Part I", Adelman transferred to Voyager. After three seasons on Voyager, she moved back to DS9 for its last two seasons.

After completing her work on DS9, Adelman was the supervising ADR editor on the short-lived 2000 NBC series The Others and was the dialogue editor for the 2000 film Fear of Flying; she worked with Mace Matiosian, Jivan Tahmizian, and Guy Tsujimoto on both of these projects.
